One person has been killed by soldiers at a check point at Gadan Karofi (Karofi bridge) along CBN Bye Pass in Jalingo, the Taraba State capital.
The Taraba state police public relations officer Abdullahi Usman confirmed the incident .
However, an eye witness who spoke in confidence said a local vigilante member was arguing with the military personnel who were trying to ensure that movements were restricted accordingly.
According to the witness, the argument escalated rather too fast and before anyone knew it, the individual had been shot by a soldier.
